"Yes."
Lu Xing nodded solemnly.
Before, he had to juggle studying and protecting Wei Qingyu every day. He was so busy he didn't have time to chat nonsense with her.
Other people were different.
They would eagerly flock to Wei Qingyu's side, wanting to talk to her.
No wonder everyone who had pursued Wei Qingyu said she was cold and indifferent.
It turned out that this blockhead's way of speaking was too direct and hurtful, deeply stinging those people!
Lu Xing suddenly felt like he had had an epiphany about the truth of the matter!
It seemed Old Man Wei had taught his daughter how to play the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but he hadn't taught her the art of conversation.
Wei Qingyu nodded lightly.
"Oh."
'So he thinks my way of speaking isn't good.'
Wei Qingyu was a little puzzled.
Her speech was concise and clear. Why was there a problem?
"Adoptive father... you two..."
Li Dachun spoke up hesitantly.
The way these two interacted was completely different from the legends?!
What does 'oh' mean?
Is it their special way of communicating?
Why can't I understand!!!
Damn it, I'm calling the cops! There's a Riddler here!
Lu Xing waved his hand.
"It's nothing. Go play."
Alright then.
Li Dachun nodded dumbly and moved a little farther away from the two of them.
He looked at the chocolate in his hand, then at Demon Lord Li in the classroom, and didn't quite dare to eat it.
Lu Xing understood and said with a smile.
"When it comes to eating, what's important is to be bold and meticulous."
Wei Qingyu stared at the book in her hand, but her ears twitched slightly.
Li Dachun was amazed. "You have to be bold and meticulous just to eat something?"
"Of course." Lu Xing raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"This 'boldness' means you dare to stuff it in your mouth anytime, anywhere. This 'meticulousness' means you must always be aware of whether the teacher is present."
Hahaha.
Li Dachun couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
So that's what "bold and meticulous" meant!
Wei Qingyu stared at her book with a blank expression, the corners of her mouth curving up imperceptibly.
"What are you laughing at! Did you get first place on the exam?!"
Demon Lord Li's voice echoed throughout the entire floor.
Lu Xing suddenly felt that being a homeroom teacher wasn't easy.
She probably had to take lessons in the Lion's Roar technique.
Li Dachun stopped smiling.
"All of you, get inside for class! Wait for the subject teacher to arrive!"
Demon Lord Li had spoken. The three of them could only obediently enter the classroom.
Wei Qingyu walked at the very front, and the eyes of all the boys in the class couldn't help but follow her.
Oh, the girls were looking at her too.
Top-tier looks were always a universal killer.
From the moment Wei Qingyu entered high school, her pursuers included not only male upperclassmen and underclassmen, but also female upperclassmen and underclassmen.
"Mmm..."
As she passed the podium, Wei Qingyu's steps suddenly slowed, and she even swayed slightly.
The people in the class thought she was about to speak and looked at her in surprise.
Only Lu Xing thought for a moment and instantly felt that this was not good!
Holy f*ck!
Not low blood sugar again, is it?
To prevent the universally acknowledged campus belle from kowtowing to him again...
Lu Xing quickly snatched a piece of chocolate from Li Dachun's pocket, forcefully grabbed Wei Qingyu's wrist, stuffed the chocolate into her mouth, and said in a low voice.
"Swallow it."
Surprise appeared in Wei Qingyu's watery eyes.
Feeling the hint of sweetness between her lips and teeth, she obediently swallowed it all.
The dizziness in front of her eyes gradually subsided...
The class's study committee member, Hu Zhongzhong, who had a secret crush on Wei Qingyu, slammed his hand on the desk and stood up, shouting angrily.
"Lu Xing! What are you doing! Who let you take advantage of a female classmate?! Let go of Qingyu!"
Lu Xing turned a deaf ear.
Only when he saw that Wei Qingyu had recovered did he immediately let go of her wrist, stuck his hands in his pockets, and walked to his seat.
Seeing that his scolding had an effect, Hu Zhongzhong was a little smug. He immediately ran to the front of the podium and asked solicitously.
"Qingyu! Are you alright!"
Seeing him make a move, the other boys in the class could only grind their molars to dust.
"Why did you yell at Lu Xing?"
Wei Qingyu had recovered. Her dark eyes stared at Hu Zhongzhong, full of confusion.
Being looked at like this, Hu Zhongzhong was at a complete loss, stammering.
"He, he, he touched your hand! He was ta-ta-taking advantage of you!"
Wei Qingyu's face was calm as she said flatly.
"He was not."
Whoa!
The entire class was in an uproar.
Wait.
What does Wei Qingyu mean by that?
Lu Xing already grabbed her hand, and she's still saying he didn't take advantage of her?
Whispers broke out in the class.
"I must have woken up too fast! I just saw Campus Belle Wei say so many words!"
"Fuck! Didn't they say Lu Xing was a simp with a one-sided crush?"
"Holy f*ck! Could it be that he simped his way to having it all in the end?!"
"Is it too late for me to start simping now?"
What the fuck is this situation!
Hu Zhongzhong himself didn't understand what was going on!
He was just about to speak.
But looking at Wei Qingyu's eyes, which had never shown a ripple for anyone, he suddenly felt timid.
Not everyone had Lu Xing's courage and shamelessness.
"Move."
Hu Zhongzhong was stunned. "What?"
Wei Qingyu frowned, a little disgusted.
"You're in the way."
She felt that the person in front of her wasn't very bright.
"Ah? Oh, oh, oh! Okay, okay!"
Hu Zhongzhong's mind went blank. He immediately turned around, lost his footing, and plopped down on the podium.
It immediately caused a roar of laughter in the class!
As the Chinese teacher walked in and saw Hu Zhongzhong like this, he joked with a smile.
"Is student Hu wishing me a happy new year in advance?"
(TL: During Chinese New Year, it is a traditional custom for younger generations to kowtow to their elders (like parents and grandparents) to show respect and receive red envelopes)
Another round of laughter filled the class.
...
"Xing-xing, you've made it!"
Li Dachun used a book to cover his mouth, still not having recovered from the earlier excitement.
The surrounding students seemed to be reading, but their gazes were all vaguely directed towards Lu Xing.
Especially the two people in the front row.
When they heard Li Dachun bring up this topic, they silently leaned back against their desks.
Their ears were practically cosplaying as rabbits!
(TL: Don't eavesdrop guys, be cool.)
Lu Xing let out a professional laugh, but his eyes were fixed on the required poems in the book.
He had been wallowing in the mud for too long.
If big silly Chun was a clear and stupid flower of the motherland's future, then he had long since become a man-eating flower.
Therefore.
Looking at the poems in the textbook, Lu Xing actually had a different kind of understanding.
Reciting poems in class: Tacky! So tacky!
Reciting poems in private: Elegant! So elegant!
"Aiya, what's so interesting about these stupid poems? Bro Xing, talk to me!"
Li Dachun poked Lu Xing's arm.
Lu Xing turned to look at him and asked with a smile, "Have you ever heard the saying?"
"One cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time."
Lu Xing's past was filled with dust, ridicule, money, and self-loathing.
When he wanted to experience youth, all that was left was the feeling of youth.
Li Dachun was impressed without fully understanding.
"Wait! That's not what I wanted to hear! You almost tricked me!"
"I want to hear what's going on between you and Campus Belle Wei! She was defending you against Hu Zhongzhong!"
From the time Wei Qingyu entered the school until now...
The times she had spoken the most were all during her speeches in the auditorium after ranking first in the grade.
But today.
Wei Qingyu was actually defending Lu Xing against Hu Zhongzhong!
For high school students with extremely limited entertainment, gossiping was one of the main pastimes during their free time.
He believed that during the exercise break between major classes, this news would spread throughout the entire campus!
Lu Xing raised his head. He could see Wei Qingyu's back with a single glance.
He had deliberately chosen this seat back then so he could keep an eye on Wei Qingyu's movements at all times.
Wei Qingyu's back was always straight, and her sitting posture was also proper.
Lu Xing suspected that Old Man Wei had no idea how to raise a daughter, which was why he had raised her into an AI robot.
"What do you think is going on between us?"
This is the line I was waiting for!
Li Dachun instantly became excited, clenched his fists, and said powerfully.
"It must be that a few days ago, you once again confessed your deep love to Campus Belle Wei, and Campus Belle Wei once again ruthlessly rejected you. You started smoking and drinking, crying on the streets, and finally had a great epiphany, deciding to let go of everything and study hard!"
Lu Xing's scalp tingled.
"With a 'ding,' you awakened a system. From then on, your grades soared, but Campus Belle Wei couldn't adapt to a life without you. She suddenly realized that she had fallen in love with you long ago, but she hadn't noticed due to her pride!"
Lu Xing coughed desperately.
"Finally! To win back your heart, Campus Belle Wei did many out-of-character things, even getting into a car accident and ending up in the ICU. You finally softened, and the two of you got back together!"
Lu Xing averted his gaze.
"That makes a lot of sense. Where did you see that?"
Li Dachun said proudly.
""Did the Campus Prince Get His Wife Back at the Crematorium Today?!" And "Slow Down, Mr. Gu, This Lady Isn't Serving You Anymore!" and also, also, that "Evil King Chases His Wife, The Princess Consort She..."
Wait!
That voice didn't sound like Lu Xing's!
Li Dachun's voice came to an abrupt halt.
Holy f*ck!
"Teacher! Wait, let me Explain!!"
